Jeb pushes back on Trump comments: Mexican immigration rate ‘basically flat’
The Hill ^ | 8/30/15 | Mark Hensch

Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) said on Sunday that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is mistaken for blaming the immigration crisis on Mexico.

Bush added that most of the nation’s influx of illegal immigrants is actually coming from Central America instead.

“Right now the number of Mexicans crossing the border is basically flat,” he told host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on AM 970 in New York. “The immigrants that are crossing legally or illegally in both cases are from Central America now,” he said. “It changes.”

“What shouldn’t change is our commitment to respecting the rule of law and our commitment to support the security of our borders,” added Bush, another Republican White House hopeful in 2016.

Bush argued on Sunday that Trump’s immigration platform would be too costly and impractical.

“What Donald Trump is proposing is a wall that can’t be built, and if it was, it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars,” he said, citing Trump’s call for a wall on America’s border with Mexico.

“He wants everyone deported, which would tear family lives asunder,” Bush said. “It would probably be unconstitutional.”

“It’s not conservative and it’s not realistic and it does not embrace American values,”

Sounds like a good time to CLEAR THEM OUT and build a wall. Hopefully Trump can get that done before they start gushing back here as he lights up the economy.

So Mexico lets them in and gives them a straight path to the border.

Lol. What crap is that?

How stupid does Jeb think the American public is? Those Central American immigrants enter the US THROUGH MEXICO.

Jebra started out at $500 dollars for the night, and is now down to a bottle of Coke and some red vines.

Push back? Stick a fork in her... She’s done.

This is Jeb Bush doubling down on letting illegal immigrants continue to invade our country. If this man is elected president, it’s over.

Their immigration rate may be flat but the rate at which they reproduce parasites sucking off the taxpayers grows exponentially.

It’s my long-held belief these people from south of the Rio are so stupid because their sexual activity starts at a very young age..

No proof, JMHO..

(1.) Trump acknowledged that others, in addition to Mexitrash were crossing the border illegally.

(2.) Most Americans disagree with you, Jeberwacky.

(3.) You have a snowball’s chance in Hell of resurrecting your imploding campaign, and so ... FK OFF, GOPe RINO turd!

Maybe we can blame NAFTA and it’s failure from Jeb’s daddy and Clinton.

¡Yeb! is trying to minimize the Mexican aspect of the illega alien inundation. While it is true that more of them are currently coming from points south, 55% of the total number of illegal aliens are Mexicans.

¡Yeb! loves Mexico and Mexicans, good for him.
We want a President that loves America and Americans.

THIS is his example of a 'push back' ????

"Donald, you are wrong. It's not Mexicans. It's Central Americans".

Stick a fork.

Duhhhh.....Mexico is letting those from further south travel through Mexico to get to the US. We seal that border, they can keep them.

Is Jeb really this dumb?

Jeb’s burning down his own campaign and he (maybe) doesn’t even know it. ‘Maybe’ because I remember hearing that he bussed in his own cheering squad at CPAC. If you have to do that- you know you’re not popular. He’s telling *Americans*, of all people, that ‘oh we can’t do anything, it’s too hard, and anyways it’s not really a problem’. He doesn’t get this country.

And I will not be lectured by Jeb Bush on ‘Conservative values’.

Trump doesn’t play defense. He’s on the attack- all the time.

“Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.”

-Harry S Truman

Hey Jeb..are they jumping over Mexico or crossing the border from Mexico??
